The image shows two sides of a tarnished, likely bronze, coin against a black background. A scale is positioned on the right edge of the frame for size reference.

On the left side of the image, the coin features a profile of a man facing right. The text "IMP C.ORDIANUS P.IES.AVG" is inscribed around the perimeter of the coin, though the wear and tarnish make some of the letters difficult to read.

On the right side of the image, the other side of the coin shows a depiction of a seated figure. The figure appears to be female and is draped in a robe or garment. The inscription around the edge is even more difficult to decipher due to the coin's condition, but some letters are visible. The letters "S.C" are seen at the bottom. The color of the coin is predominantly green, with areas of dark brown and a hint of reddish-brown, indicative of oxidation and age.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall:

The image displays two ancient, heavily weathered coins against a plain black background. The coins appear to be made of a copper alloy, likely bronze, and have a significant amount of green patina from oxidation. A ruler is placed along the right side of the image.

Coin Details:

• Left Coin: The obverse (front) of the coin shows a profile portrait of a person, facing right. Around the perimeter, there is visible inscription that reads "IMP GORDIANVS PIVS AVG." (This is a Latin inscription, likely the name and title of a Roman Emperor).
• Right Coin: The reverse (back) of the coin appears to depict a seated figure, likely a deity or personification. The inscription is visible as "VIRTVS AD" (another Latin phrase).

Overall Impression:

The image highlights the age and historical significance of the coins. The worn condition and patina convey a sense of antiquity. The contrast against the black background emphasizes the details of the coins and facilitates visual study of the historical details present on the surface.
